FCC's GOP: New Broadband Rules Would Ruin FCC Credibility

The FCC's two Republican members on Thursday said Chairman Julius Genachowski's broad proposal to regulate broadband "risks the credibility" of the commission at risk of causing "serious ramifications across the globe."

Commissioners Robert McDowell and Meredith Baker spared not a kind word for Genachowski, who announced earlier in the day the FCC would apply some rules that govern phone companies to broadband providers in part to institute net neutrality rules.
